Elvis, my dad

by David Adler

With her blonde hair and familiar, sulky pout, Lisa Marie Presley is the only child of the King of Rock-n-Roll and at 30, will be the sole heir to his multimillion-dollar estate. Yet for years a closely guarded life of privacy has prevented the public from watching Elvis' little girl grow up. Now, for the first time, here's the inside story: The good and the bad years at Graceland; then Lisa Marie's tragic loss, at age nine, of her larger-than-life father; Her battle of wills with Priscilla's live-in lover, Michael Edwards; Lisa Marie's battle with drugs and a 'bad crowd'; the wounding rift with Priscilla; and how she triumphed over both; Scientology and her marriage to musician Danny Keough; The sensational birth of Danielle, Elvis' first grandchild.
